David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust - live 1972 (rare footage / 2016 edit)

"On July 3, 1973, after 182 Ziggy Stardust concert performances, David Bowie announced he was about to retire from live performing, although it eventually transpires that the stage persona is being retired and not Bowie himself. Only his guitarist Mick Ronson knew about the announcement, which came as a complete shock not only to the audience but the rest of Bowie's band and crew."
